IPC: B01J20/08
Filed: 1932-12-13
Abstract: Mineral adsorbent substances containing alumina, such as bauxite, have their capacity for adsorption increased by impregnation with anhydrous aluminium sulphate by one of the following processes:--(1) treatment of the roasted or ignited substance with aluminium sulphate, followed by roasting or ignition at temperatures between 350 and 700 DEG  C., say at 440 DEG  C.; (2) treatment of the roasted or ignited substance with a sulphate such as iron, magnesium, or iron ammonium sulphate which by double decomposition yields aluminium sulphate together with the hydrate of the metal, the sulphate of which is used, followed by roasting or ignition; (3) treatment of the unroasted material with a solution of sulphuric acid, followed by roasting or ignition; (4) treatment of the material with sulphur trioxide or sulphur dioxide and air at say 400--600 DEG  C., followed by treatment at the same temperature with steam or air.  The products are adapted for refining mineral oil distillates or products in the liquid or gaseous phase for removing colour and odour and polymerizing unsaturated hydrocarbons to give a residue of lubricating oil polymers, for improving the bloom of lubricating oils, and for wax filtrations.  Cracked spirit may be treated in the liquid phase with bauxite treated with ferrous sulphate and maintained at 100 DEG  C., and wth bauxite treated with aluminium sulphate maintained at 200 DEG  C., in which case the spirit is vaporized on passing through the bauxite.  After use, and cleansing by benzine or superheated steam, the bauxite may be reactivated by re-impregnation and roasting.  In examples, the treatment of cracked petroleum spirit in the vapour phase, of melted paraffin wax, and of 40 per cent benzine from residuum pressure distillate is described.

Abstract: 1,268,232. Laying pipes under water; tools for coupling pipes; pipeline pigs. COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE DES PETROLES S.A. 15 July, 1969[14 Nov., 1968], No. 35547/69. Headings F2G, F2N and F2P. A method of laying underwater pipes comprises providing them with floats to give positive buoyancy to each pipe length, towing the lengths to the submersion site, injecting fluid of a density slightly greater than water into the first pipe length for submersion so as to render its buoyancy progressively negative, maintaining one end of the first pipe length for connection to a subsequent pipe length at a given depth, submerging the end of the second pipe length to the same depth by reducing its buoyancy, connecting the two submerged pipe lengths, expelling into the second pipe length the fluid contained in the first pipe length by injecting water, and repeating the process for each successive pipe length. The method may be preceded by laying a mooring cable for the pipe. A plug (Fig. 5, not shown) may be used to expel the fluid from one pipe to the next under hydraulic pressure and a plug stopping device is attached to the remote end of the particular pipe length to secure the plug after it has passed therethrough. The plug may also be used to assist in lining up successive pipe lengths and the pipe ends may be provided with traction arms (Fig. 6, not shown) for connecting to a traction system to bring the ends of successive pipe lengths together for connecting-up, and means (Fig. 8, not shown) for relatively rotating the ends of pipe lengths to align them may also be provided.

Abstract: 474,867. Uniting metal to vitreous material by heat. QUARZLAMPEN GES. Dec. 28, 1936, No. 35551. Convention date, Dec. 27, 1935. [Class 36] A leading-in conductor for sealing into a vessel of material having a low coefficient of expansion, particularly of quartz or glass having a high content of silica consists of foil 1 of high fusion point metal having a thickness preferably less than 0À02 mm., the surface of the foil being roughened. The foil may be made thinner at the margins than in the middle by the roughening process, and preferably is not roughened at the end portions where it is folded over to engage electrode-supporting wires 2 and a lead-in wire 3. The material of the foil may consist of molybdenum or other high fusion point metal. The processes employed for producing the roughened surface may comprise etching, electrolytic treatment by introducing the foils as anodes in an electrolytic bath, heating to incandescence in a vacuum, or exposing as cathode to a gaseous discharge in a vacuum. For roughening mechanically a metal brush may be applied transversely to the length of the foil to avoid the production of longitudinal fissures which would cause leakage. The etching process has the advantage that the foil becomes thinner at the edge than in the middle, and at the same time the burr produced during cutting is entirely or partly removed. In an example the thickness of the middle part of the foil is stated to be about 0À015 m.m. after etching. The foil may be fused into a thick-walled quartz tube 4 provided with an axial slit corresponding to the dimensions of the foil, mechanical pressure being used if necessary. The tube 4 is subsequently fused to the discharge vessel.
